Ursuline College is a private Roman Catholic liberal arts college in Pepper Pike, Ohio. It was founded in 1871 by the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland and was one of the oldest institutions of higher education for women in the United States and the first Catholic women's college in Ohio.^[4]

History

In 1997 Ursuline College began offering an accelerated nursing degree program for working adults (UCAP).

In 2013, Ursuline College successfully gained NCAA Division II status. One week later, an EF1 tornado with winds reaching 110 mph touched down on the Ursuline College campus, downing multiple trees and destroying an exterior wall of the gymnasium. ^[5] In 2015, the repaired and renovated gymnasium reopened as the Sister Diana Stano Athletic Center. The facility features the Jane and Lee Seidman Gymnasium, a 1,000 seat multi-sport venue that is home to the Arrows basketball and volleyball team.^[6]

Academics

Ursuline College offers a range of undergraduate and graduate studies, including 30 undergraduate, 9 graduate, and 10 degree-completion programs. In 2024, Ursuline had a total student population of 970, with 70% undergraduate and 30% graduate students.^[7] While the traditional undergraduate programs remain women-focused, all of the programs welcome both women and men. Ursuline's student body consists of 91% female students and 9% male students as of 2024.^[8]

Athletics

Ursuline College teams participate as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division II.^[9] The Arrows are a member of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC), but used to be a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' now-defunct American Mideast Conference (AMeC) until the 2011–12 season.^[10]

In 2024, Ursuline College became the first four-year institution of higher learning in Ohio to add intercollegiate women's flag football to its athletics program. ^[11]
